Scrum Guru Mike Cron: Working with Wallabies, All Blacks Success, Case for Player Rest & Rotation

On the DSPN, Martin Devlin chats with legendary scrum coach Mike Cron about his new book Lessons from an All Black Legend, which dives into life inside the All Blacks camp and the mindset behind elite performance. Cron reflects on the current state of the New Zealand national side, the growing gap between Super Rugby and international level, and why confidence is as crucial as technique in the scrum. He shares fascinating insights on managing player workloads, the evolution of the front row, and the art of coaching under high stakes. He also opens up about transitioning from the police force to rugby, the challenge of coaching the Black Ferns on short notice, and why staying humble - and hungry - is key to sustained success.
